Business Analyst Resume Evaluation

1 comment

Why invest in a business analyst resume evaluation?

The goal of the resume evaluation service is to help you market your professional qualifications to potential employers. A key marketing document for job seekers is the resume and through an evaluation process, we’ll help you improve your resume so it fully reflects your skills, qualifications, accomplishments, and experiences.

This is not a resume writing service. We work with you to elicit the value you bring to the table and help you develop your skills in understanding and communicating your value to potential employers. The end result is resume that markets the value you provide. Through the evaluation process, we also find that many job seekers discover ways to optimize their job search process and hone their interview skills to put their best foot forward.

Testimonials

Brandon Groom, an IT leader within a start-up on his way to becoming a business analyst, finalized his resume evaluation on May 10, 2010, and contacted me to let me know he’d found the ideal position on June 24. Here’s what he had to say about the service:

Your advice, encouragement, and insight helped me build confidence and reinvent myself during this quasi-career-change.  Enlisting your services and participating in the local IIBA CBAP study group were the 2 best decisions I made throughout this transition period.

Julia Meyers, the very first resume evaluation client, shared the following feedback:

I was able to get to your review and WOW was I blown away. Given the comprehensive and perceptive review I received, I will be the first to recommend you to other BA’s looking for resume help!

Resume Evaluation Process

Crafting a top-notch resume is the result of a full understanding of your target position and immediate career goals. Our resume evaluation process is designed to help you clarify your goals and unearth the value you provide to potential employers.

Step 1: Clarify your Target Position

Your resume’s purpose is to market you as a professional to find jobs for which you are qualified—or your target position. In this step, we’ll provide resources to help you complete the following:

  • Define your target position
  • Select 3-5 sample jobs to which you are planning to apply (or have applied to)
  • Assess your key career experiences as they related to your target position.

Step 2: Resume Evaluation

A senior level business analyst with experience interviewing and hiring other BAs will personally evaluate your resume and provide feedback as to how the resume reflects the value you bring to the table. The evaluation will include the following aspects:

  • Clarity of the match between the value the resume depicts and the target position.
  • Applicability of resume to sample jobs.
  • Objective assessment of potential value the candidate brings to a hiring manager, as marketed by the resume.
  • Identify resume strengths that can be leveraged to expand sections of the resume.
  • Identify resume weaknesses and suggest action plans to improve those weaknesses.

Step 3: Presentation of findings

A detailed assessment of your resume will be provided in writing and, depending on the package you choose, reviewed in a one-on-one phone call. If you choose a phone call, we’ll collaborate together to identify opportunities for you to market additional value to potential employers.

Packages

We provide two different options so you can find one that provides you the best possible value for the investment you are prepared to make.

Option #1: Kick-Starter Package

The Kick-Starter package provides support through all three steps for a 2-4 page resume. You’ll receive a resource package to help you complete step #1 and a detailed written report with the results of the resume review along with detailed action steps for improving your resume.

Your investment: $175

Option #2: Full Service Package

The Full Service package provides full support through all three steps. It includes everything in the Kick-Starter package plus two one-hour phone consultations to discuss your target position, key career, experiences, and review the results of the resume evaluation.

The opportunity to meet one-on-one helps us uncover your marketable value from your career experiences, guide you through the process, and provide additional support for how to present your career experiences in your resume, ensuring your resume presents your best qualifications to a potential hiring manager.

Your investment: $325

Excellent!
I, among others, have asked Laura for help on my resume. Laura has also written about re-writing your resume in her e-book. She has also made a presentation via the IIBA webinars on this topic.

She has now made a channel available to allow her to actually help us while also letting us pay for the single most important thing a consultant offers after their skills. Their time.
